This one is one of the finest product of Philips in Electric Shavers. A lot of marketing in support of this product with a high price of about 160 to 250 GBP is not just a hype but true. It is actually a great product and thus its price should not stop it to capture the market.
Quality of Shave
The Quality of the Shaver is always determined from its ability to remove hairs. My shave has always been a challenge for the shavers and this one proved to be a good performer in dealing with it. It is capable of removing the hairs from the remotest areas of your face and the ones whic are indeed left out by normal cheap shavers. Going some details, it was able to shave off the hairs from my neck and on the side skins that cover my lip which in normal conditions would leave side burns. Its always difficult to remove these hairs without a good deal of effort but with ARCITEC it was quite easy and comfortable. I had no marks left on my face and i felt quite happy about this.
Cleaning
Another aspect which one should look at while buying a shaver is the ease to clean it. It comes with something called Jet Clean which cleans the device with a solution. Also, you have an option of opening the heads and wash it in tap water.
So it reaimns in a clean and hygenic condition for use in a great condition when you use it next time.
Battery performance
The battery usage time is quite long to ensure that you are not left out in between. The charger covers the whole body of the shaver and is thus slighlty big in comparison to other competitors. It has a display which shows how much time is left in the battery so its wuite easy to estimate how much long you can use it without charging.
The Shape
The look is indeed great. Seems you are working on some high-tech machine. Sp, techie's like me love these kind of devices which show their capabilities in their design too. It ahs three independent shaving heads, each having 3 tracks. So, its deigned in quite good way to remove some of the nasty hairs.
Value for Money
I can say that it is slighlty high-priced but it is indeed a value for money. At the end one wants to look great and this one helps out. My face glows after its use. Its available at 156 GBP to 250 GBP . So its upto you what deal you decide. I poked my head on the net that time and managed to get it in 160 GBP.
Advantages: Great Shave , Very Durable , Sleek Design , Great battery life Disadvantages: High Price ,
Well i bought this shaver and it was a bit pricey , but i later found out why it was that much. Now my skin on my face is very sensitive i always end up with razor burn after i shave. But with this shaver i did not get any razor burn and the shave was very close. It is a bit noisy but the shave is great. This was my second time buying a electric shaver and i am very pleased with the quality. Now the Battery life is great it last a very long time ...

Advantages: Great look, shave well, cool charger. Disadvantages: Bad clipper design, expensive and not yet perfect.
This is a good shaver, but at the price, it need to be more than good. And when it come to the clipper, I'm sorry, but the guy who designed the shaver didn't tried his creation before putting it on the market.
As the clipper doesn't came out, the shaver head hide the clipper: So you can't see what you are clipping. Not really nice for precision shaving. And yes, you could do precision shaving with this clipper as it's a really small one.
Worst ... ...head toutch your nose, so it's hard to use it.
Good shaver, but bad clipper design: it shoud be more accessible.
The head movement is smooth and great, also really easy to clean. I'm not sure how we can replace the blades as it was possible on older model. It looks like you need to bring it to a rasor repair shop.
Last bad point ( I know I'm hard ), the sucker under the charger are not really great. Don't expect to snap the charger on a mirror ...

Advantages: an excellent shave Disadvantages: very minor
At first sight this shaver looks somewhat gimicky. It does, however, give an excellent shave. The best shaver I have ever used on my neck with no sign of the soreness associated with some other shavers. It is not as quiet as my last shaver but the noise is not intrusive. It is easy in the hand and does really follow the curves in your face. Now for a couple of niggles. I am surprised that a shaver of this cost does not have a simple travel case and ...

Advantages: design, lightness, the closest shave possible Disadvantages: no compact travel case
I've been a life long philishave user and just when I thought it would be impossible to make something better, they did! As a lover of gadgets which actually work, this is fantastic and it also has the advantage of being visually stunning (like a work of techno art). It is also a tactile delight - shaving is now actually fun and the result is the best and closest shave I've ever had (including multiple blade wet razors) so much so that I'm constantly ...
